Key public messages are:

Stay away from beaches, shorelines and exposed coastal roads during the event.
Be prepared to stay with friends or family if your property has been affected by coastal flooding in the past.
Move vehicles and valuable items away from low-lying coastal areas where possible.
Monitor MetService, WREMO and local council channels for updates.
